n00b from (very) rural Nebr

[NebrHogger]

I don't have an aquarium yet, but I'm registering here to get a bend in my learning curve BEFORE I buy a setup. I hope to start out with a smaller saltwater reef tank - 20 gallons or maybe less. I hope to stock it with anemones, 2 clown fish, a coral or 2 and hopefully a clam - possibly electric.

Since I know essentially nothing, I doubt I'll post much by an occasional question. What I've learned so far from YT vids is to not get in a hurry - thus my presence here to learn. Thanks! Steve

It's great that you're not rushing into things. I would not recommend anything smaller than a 20g. Stay with one Anemone, two small Clowns. Do NOT, get a Tridacna Clam. Read as much as you can and beware, you'll find that there's always differences between hobbyists advise and opinions. Don't go too small of a tank as things can go real bad quickly. Usually,.... In a larger tank you have time to respond. Think about a 40g breeder or even a 55g.

I'm near Lincoln Ne., where are you ?
